Abstracts
Abstract painting is a challenge.
There is no touchstone for ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ except intuition.
Alone in front of a half-finished piece, intuition is not always clear, nor friendly.
I’m always drawn to working in Red, White and Black. In abstract though, I also love the freedom of pushing into different colour realms, playing with shape and flow, line and block, big and small.
My intention is the same as in my other art though. I want to feel each painting is an intimate invitation to pause, reflect, imagine and access a place of deep, healing calm.
Dawn in Autumn
From my window there are rough, scrubby fields, then a range of hills. At dawn this is where the light comes from.

Garden in Blue
My garden is very wild. I like it that way. So do the birds, butterlies, dragonflies and assorted critters who live there.

Metal and Earth
The basic paint here is a coper acrylic - which gives the picture a slight metallic sheen. I like how that’s at odds with its organic feel

Sunshine and Olive Trees
There’s something of the summer in this. I hope it gives you a chance to pause, as if in the shade of a quiet hacienda

Landman
I love that this flickers in my imagination between being a figure and a landscape.
The confining lines seem like bonds ready to be broken.

Off-Centred #1
I wanted to bring together formal ‘space-shaping’ with random, organic accidents. The result makes me smile.

Eruption
I was turbulent when I painted this. Sometimes I paint calmly - sometimes I paint myself into calmness!

Stockholm in Spring
I love Stockholm. I’ve worked there many times - training dancers mainly.
Something in these blocks evokes for me the stylish laid-backness of the place

I love the mix of formal and random in here. Somehow nodding to Eastern Art - yet totally not.

Islands
I love setting myself limits. Here I decided to use only black!
The end result reminded me of looking down on Greek islands and imagining all the boat journeys connecting them

A Stitch in Time
Sometimes when I’m walking, it seems as if the whole landscape is suddenly unlike anything I’ve ever seen before.
It’s very confusing.
